Revelation 15
8 verses
The seven angels with the seven last plagues pour out the final judgments through which the wrath of God is finished (completed, brought to fulfillment)—the seven bowls representing the totality of God's judgment upon impenitent rebellion. The overcomers of the beast and its image stand on the sea of glass mixed with fire, holding harps of God and singing the song of Moses and the Lamb: Great and marvelous are your works, O Lord God, the Almighty; just and true are your ways, O King of the nations. The temple of the tent of witness in heaven is opened, and the seven angels come out clothed in clean, bright linen with golden belts, received by one of the four living creatures who gives them seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God who lives forever and ever. The temple is filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one can enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels are finished—isolating the world from God's presence as judgment unfolds. The preparation of the bowls of judgment and the worship that precedes them establish that God's wrath flows from his holiness and throne, not from arbitrary violence.
